Abstract(in English) We have performed ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) measurements on the Au/CaF_2/n-Si(111) system in which calcium fluoride (CaF_2) (about 2 monolayers (ML)) was introduced at the Au/Si interface. A BEEM image clearly shows the coexistence of two types of terrace. A typical barrier height for one type is about 0.75 eV. In contrast, the second type shows a barrier height of about 3.5 eV. We attribute the coexistence of the two types of terrace in the BEEM image to the different degrees of coverage of the CaF_2 intralayers. At the second type of terrace, a Au/2 ML CaF_2/1ML CaF/Si(111) interface exists, although the first type has a Au/1 ML CaF/Si(111) interface without a CaF_2 intralayer.
